Plantation Resort at Rainbow

10/10 Excellent

"Plantation resort is perfectly positioned in the centre of town with sweeping beach views. Staff were super helpful in bringing forward our stay before we even arrived. On arrival, the resort was beautifully presented and the suite very generously proportioned. The beach trolley and toys were a great bonus. Highly recommend the double Island kayak tour."

Senses Noosa North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Senses Noosa North Shore! From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and genuinely lovely to deal with. The property was incredibly easy to find, yet somehow still felt completely secluded and tucked away, making it the perfect place to switch off and relax. The house itself was absolutely stunning. Every time we turned a corner, there was another “wow” moment. It was beautifully designed, spacious and had everything you could possibly need. We especially loved that each bedroom had its own air conditioning and its own little space to sit and unwind, so everyone could have some quiet time if they wanted. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil, appliance and piece of cookware you could think, literally all you need to bring is your food. This was one of those rare places where the photos don’t even do it justice. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked our next holiday here before we even checked out. We honestly can’t wait to come back!!"

The Sebel Noosa

10/10 Excellent

"You cannot beat the location: central, adjacent to the beach and only a stroll to bars, restaurants, shops and cafes. The rooms are well appointed and once the renovation project is completed, all rooms will be newly modernised. The resort has lovely pools, including a pool for kids and a spa. Free off street parking is also a huge bonus. One thing I would say - the areas around the pools and water features in particular are incredibly slippery and you need to take care when walking through these areas after rain or where lots of people have been using the pools!"
